39-year career in a field in which he excelled and grew to love. Al's dedication led him to
assignments on federal, state, and local task forces apprehending
violent fugitives and dangerous criminals. Al's work with those different
agencies forged many bonds and contacts with other Officers, Agents,
and Deputies which served him well and assisted in his ability to be
successful. Al spent the latter part of his career working in Drug Enforcement and his knowledge, drive, and determination was an
inspiration to the younger Officers. Al was often the "Go To Guy" for
those young Officers who needed advice and he enjoyed mentoring them. Al
was highly respected by Supervisors, peers, Attorneys, Officers from
other Law Enforcement Agencies and those in the court system.
